19-20: Good addition to ensure fresh package lists during build.

The apt update command is well-placed before the main packaging assembly workflow (line 23 onwards) and before the later apt-get download call (line 166). This ensures package metadata is current when resolving dependencies, which is especially important in build environments where base images may have stale package lists.

Just an FYI, this was silently reverted in c03b550, "silently" because the commit message ("Updated Python and Javascript dependencies.") did not describe/explain the removal of those lines of code.

I was about to revert this commit, but before I could, someone else had already done so. The revert commit message is missing, which was unintentional on the part of the committer. He must have forgotten to add.
